Like Beer? Buy This Book

I am only 50-odd pages in and already Pete Brown's book charting his journey to recreate the journey taken by India Pale Ale - Land of Hops & Glory - has had me alternately captivated and laughing out loud.

And if you don't buy it for yourself (which you should) then any beer lover/history buff/sailing enthusiast would undoubtedly be delighted to received it.

Well done Pete, I thought Three Sheets to the Wind couldn't be topped - but you're doing well so far!
